Boat repair shop in Palmetto, FL

Palmetto sits at the mouth of the Manatee River where it meets Tampa Bay, and boats working that stretch deal with everything from oyster bars in the shallows to heavy commercial and recreational traffic in the main channel. Prop damage from debris or grounding is a regular repair need here. We handle propeller repair and replacement at our Englewood shop and can assess whether a prop is worth straightening or needs to be swapped out for a new one.

Fiberglass hull repair is something we see consistently from this area too. Gelcoat crazing, stress cracks near the keel, and impact damage from dock contact or debris strikes all need to be addressed properly, not just painted over. Our team does a thorough assessment of the damage before we start the repair. If you're in Palmetto and your boat is showing wear that needs attention, give Florida Marine Outfitters a call.
